    Lexus Electrified Sport Concept Supercar

      The LES performance supercar is here to replace the LFA supercar of Lexus!

    2011 Lexus set the record for the fastest production car lap at the Nürburgring Nordschleife racing course with a time of 7 minutes and 14 seconds in the flashy yellow Lexus LFA supercar. This 500-horsepower car was no surprise to the Lexus engineers who were given the task to beat everyone in the world on this racecourse, but it did surprise the auto industry.

    Now comes 2022, 11 years later and President Akio Toyoda has revealed the LFA replacement, an LFA performance experience with the "secret sauce" to stun the world in an eco-conscious choice of thrill-factor driving.

    The LES Supercar has a 0-60 time of 2 seconds with a cruising range of 430 miles on solid-state batteries.

    The LES Supercar will also come in a 4-door sedan version. Lexus says they believe in extracting the full potential of a vehicle through their electrification technology. As such the vision of a LFA inspired supercar extends to those wanting a refined journey, no matter the journey and as such is perfect in a sedan format.

    Today's market is not satisfied with just a road going auto and here Lexus is expanding the LFA heritage by combining it with their off-road heritage in creating exciting new recreational experiences, finding new ways that combine versatility with dynamic driving and will offer an LESUV. The solid-state battery powered super SUV.

    The LES supercar/supersuv experience will be powered via the Direct 4 electrification powertrain.  Direct4 next-generation electric drive control technology that revolutionizes how today's driver connects with the roads of tomorrow. This first iteration will make it debute in the all-new Lexus RZ 450e. This system directs power to the appropriate wheels as needed, dynamically switching between front, rear and all-wheel drive, for unparalleled stability while accelerating and cornering.

    • I am saddened. Loved him as an actor.    There was also a crime thriller movie with Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery that he did.  Rising Sun.       
    • For sure. 100%  I have a personal anecdotal story involving insurances. Although my aunt's and uncle's insurance story from Boston didnt affect me personally, its a story that makes me very indifferent regardless what kind of monster Luigi Mangione could really be. If the story is that the CEO that got murdered was truly a sweet man, then I will have empathy for him. If not...indifference it will be for me.     I have lost a lot of my humanity these last few years I must admit. And you would be correct, indifference is almost always NOT the correct emotion to wield no matter what the circumstances.    Most probably was.  I am curious to know Luigi's motives.  Although I am not too fond of Luigi either. I dont like murderers. But...innocent until proven guilty. And Luigi's Miranda Rights allegedly were not given to him. And...a search warrant was not present when the officers went through his backpack.  I will hate it if Luigi does not stand trial because of incompetency. Justice needs to be served. For the deceased as well for the charged as well for society.  Any murder is creepy, I will agree.  We discussed my indifference so I wont get into that again.  This would be a second time I would be indifferent to horrific public murders in a year's time.  My indifference to both murders does not negate that I also sense and feel the creepiness of it all. Good guy or bad guy, indifference to his murder or not, and we will add Charlie Kirk to this...NOBODY should be murdered.   I agree with your assessments:  indifference is not the right answer and vigilantism is a very dangerous road to follow.  human beings are strange creatures.  Psychology has proven that human beings are more lenient and more favorable towards pleasant physical human attributes than to humans that are less lucky to be blessed with beautiful genetics.   Reality is though... that ALL human beings are capable of murder.   THAT is the scary part.  
    • Thanks for this link.  Very well written, detailed, chronological enough, and interesting.  This is about how I understand it. The psychological twists and turns are going to be important.  There will be a lot for psychological experts to chew on that we're not (yet) privy to.
    • Exactly why you don't necessarily want a vintage car. Modern cars MUCH safer.
